I post this message; many of you may have read it. It shows
the way the EU will be dictatorial to all member states “regions”
belonging to it.

I would suggest a first step would be a Bill of Rights,
fashioned after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which would among
other things require Habeas Corpus and other legal rights taken away by the EU.

I would also like to suggest, Afghanistan is
“receiving” a new government, so what can we offer the people of Afghanistan to consider
in developing their government? Initiative and Referendum? There are some very
worthless models out there that do more harm than good. We have not done
anything to fix the blocks that exist in I&R.

Voting? Have we identified the dangers and best methods to
complete an accurate election?

<> Control of POWER, division of power, the United States has
become an example of HOW NOT TO DO IT, So what alternatives can we use NOW?
These countries need information NOW not 10 years or 10 months from now. By the
way, Bush intends to “help” 58 more nations. He has already
“helped”, Afghanistan, and now Iraq become a
“democracy” (sic). 58 to go,,,, 60 Nations will be “looking”
for the best way to structure their government. If they come here and ask us:
“After all your deliberation over the years, how would you do it?”
What will we say?>

Do we continue with colonialism, capitalism and
cannibalism? Or is there a better way?

Thought we could discuss democracy a bit. Representative
democracy could work if the rep actually represented the wishes of the voter???
Is it likely “the people” are ready and able right now to be
“direct democrats”? Present efforts indicate an emphatic NO!!

On the international meeting/conference
"EU-enlargement 2004, the unfair methods of colonialization" in
Budapest, Hungary we’ have prepared a "MANIFESTO/DECLARATION"
about the unfair facts of the coming EU-referendum in Hungary -12th April,
2003->

The situation is very similar in Poland, Slovakei, Czech
Republic, Slovenia, Estonia, Littuanis, Lettonia, inone world it seems the the
strategy and the technic of EU-propaganda is unique.

It is very important for our european EU-realistic and
EU-critical community to unite the forces, and express our oppinion influencing
this way (too) the undemocratic fores .

If you agree with the attached Manifesto, and want to sign
it please send back an email back(with the name of your group, country) and
even fax these datas it back ( fax 00361-274-6264).

adopted by participants in the International Alternative
Conference on "EU-enlargement 2004: unfair methods of colonization",
held in Budapest23 March
2003:-

Aware of the fatal effect of current enlargement of the
European Union for the candidate countries and the need to strengthen
democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights in Europe, and
recognizing the presence of different kind of dishonest methods in all
candidate countries in order to push these countries into the European Union,

we as participants from 10 European countries in the
International Alternative Conference on "EU-enlargement 2004: unfair
methods of colonization" have adopted the following Declaration:

1. THE EMERGING NEW EU: A THREAT TO FREEDOM

After the collapse of communism the Central and East
European countries have won back their freedom, which is the most valuable
treasure for them. Now most of them are among the EU candidate countries. The
constitutions of all EU candidate countries clearly declare that they are
independent and sovereign democratic republics.

Considering the current regulation of the European Union,
decisions of the European Court and drafts of the
new European Constitution being debated in the European Convention, it seems
impossible to preserve state independence and sovereignty and political freedom
within the EU.

One recalls the statement made by the EU Court of Justice:
"Member states have irrevocably surrendered their sovereign rights to
their own created union. They cannot reverse this process by later measures,
incompatible with the spirit of the union. And the right of the union,
established by proxy, is superior to any dissenting domestic legal instrument
including the state constitution."

A framework of a new Soviet-like superpower is now clearly
outlined.

David Heathcoat-Amory, a British Tory MP on the Convention
says that what is happening is profoundly alarming. The whole Convention is
going off the rails.

According to the latest proposals of the planned
Constitution, the European Union will be endowed with a single legal
personality and a unitary institutional structure. It will be organised
"on a federal basis", and everyone will have dual citizenship. The EuropeanState will have
arrived. Moreover each of the existing EU institutions will get more powers,
which they can only do at the expense of national parliaments, governments and
peoples. This will do nothing to close the glaring "democratic
deficit" in which people feel alienated from the decision-making process.

A new "world order" in Europe seems to be
constituted by several recent measures:

Last year the European Parliament voted yes for proposal
that will give law enforcement agencies the right to monitor telephone,
internet and e-mail traffic. Under this new EU directive, the police and other
state agencies will be able to oblige internet service providers and phone
companies to keep data on whoever citizens in EU member countries are
communicating with and what they are downloading from the internet.

Tony Bunyan of Statewatch, the human rights group that
monitors the EU, commented on this issue: "The vote in the European
Parliament and the final decision on this issue will be a defining moment for
the future of democracy in the EU. If all telecommunications - phone calls,
e-mails, faxes, and internet usage - are placed under surveillance not only
will data protection be fatally undermined but so too will be the very freedoms
that distinguish democracies from authoritarian regimes."

The proposal for a CORPUS JURIS (a combination of an EU
criminal code and criminal procedure) protecting the EU's financial interests
is an embryo of a future European Criminal Code. According to that the European
Public Prosecutor will be an authority of the European Community, responsible
for investigation, prosecution, committal to trial, presenting the prosecution
case at trial and the execution of sentences concerning the offences defined.
He is envisaged as independent as regards both national authorities and
European Community institutions. If implemented, the EU would become the sole
prosecuting authority in cases of suspected budget fraud, with the right,
through its agents, both to conduct investigations into its suspicions AND
conduct trials within all member countries according to its OWN rules of law,
as described in the Corpus Juris.

We believe that the people of Europe must be
offered a choice between an integrated European state administered from Brussels and an
association of democratic states founded on the primacy of national parliaments
and the wishes of their peoples. Our choice is clearly the second alternative:
remaining outside the barriers of the European Union, in a partnership with all
European countries and the EU and EFTA.

We support the proposal to transform the EU into a Europe of
Democracies (ED), which shall be a treaty of association of free and
self-governing European states and an open economic area.

2. THE UNFAIR EU REFERENMDUMS

<>Preconditions for fairly conducted Accession Referendums are
absolutely not ensured in the EU candidate countries. Nor are they ensured in Hungary.>
<>

For a fair and properly conducted referendum on EU
accession, the following minimal criteria should be met:>
<>

a./ the question should be fair;>
<>

b./there should be enough time for a full debate;>
<>

c./ maximum public participation should be encouraged;>
<>

d./ state resources should be divided equally between
supporters and opponents;>
<>

e./ supporters and opponents should have equal access to the
broadcast media;>
<>

f./ the referendum should be monitored by an impartial body
or at least the opposing organizations should be represented on monitoring
bodies;>
<>

g./ non-national bodies, especially the EU institutions
themselves, should not interfere in a national referendum campaign.>

Currently in Hungary and in all other
candidate countries all these criteria are being breached.

a./ The question being put in the referendum is misleading
and not fair, because the question ("Do you agree that HungarianRepublic become a
member of the European Union ?) is not capable of being responded to as
required in this case.

A full and fair question would be: "Do you agree that HungarianRepublic become a
member of the European Union according to the agreed accession treaty, thus
permitting EU law to override national law in any case of conflict and without
providing for any right of withdrawal from EU membership?"

b./ The Hungarian people are not adequately informed of the
details of the Accession Treaty or about the contents of EU law which
henceforth is to regulate their lives irrevocably. Up till now there is no
official translation of the Accession Treaty, nor of the 20,000 or so EU laws
and regulations that must be adopted in Hungary. Only an
unofficial draft of the Accession Treaty can be found on the internet in recent
days. No publication has been distributed about these matters in order to
explain their legal background to ordinary electors.

The electors are entitled to have a full disclosure of the
legal and other implications of the said documents in order to be able to
decide their fate..

As a consequence there will not be enough time for a full
debate or to give citizens sufficient knowledge to enable them make an
established decision. The official Government campaign provides no detailed
information. Its main task is to convince people by referring not to facts but
to emotions, and to conceal the potential disadvantages of EU accession for Hungary.

No one warns Hungarian voters that by joining the EU they
are being committed to abolishing the forint in due course, for the Accession
Treaty commits them to joining Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), and that
consequently control of interest rates and the exchange rate will eventually
move to the EU Central Bank in Germany, which is responsible for the euro.

No one draw Hungarian votersâ?? attention that in the EU
Hungary will no longer have the power to sign trade treaties with other
coutnries, and that in future this will be done by the EU Commsssion on behalf
of the EU as a whole.

Do they realise that in the EU Hungary cannot make any
change in none of the EU laws, even if the Hungarian government, people and
parliament are totally against it?

c./ The government is spending a budget of more than 2000
millions HUF (ca. 230 HUF = 1 Euro) on its EU campaign. All parties in the
Hungarian Parliament are for YES and make official propaganda for it.
EU-critical groups and parties get no governmental aid for their activity. The
mass media represents only the YES case, opposing opinions remain unreported. A
tipical sample for that how they boycotted last week the press conference of
Hungarian Crown Land Protection Movement and World Federation of Hungarians
about unconstitutionality of the referendum.

d./ The Hungarian referendum will not be monitored by any
kind of impartial body. Opposition organizations will not be represented in
monitoring bodies and there will be no manual recount of votes in order to
control official result. Control of the referendum will be exercised only by
the Hungarian parliamentary parties, who are all for a YES.

e./ State offices and non-national bodies, especially those
of the EU institutions and representatives (Romano Prodi, Pat Cox, Guenther
Verheugen, Jean-Luc Dehaene etc.) have been continually interfering in the
Hungarian national referendum campaign and trying to convince people to vote
for the EU.

Summarized: it is clear that the government is ready to use
any kind of unfair means to reach the pre-decided result.

<>The issues raised under paragraphs a./ to e./ are all:
DISCRIMINATORY, UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND ARE CONTRARY TO THE DECLARED VALUES OF THE
EUROPEAN UNION.
><>>

3. THE ECONOMIC DANGERS OF EU MEMBERSHIP

In the present condition of Hungarian agriculture and the
nationally owned enterprises, accession to the EU could be like a suicide note
signature. The average price of agricultural land in Hungary is only
about 10 % of the EU average. The minimum wage in Hungary is recently
50.000 HUF (217 Euro), the minimum pension 21.800 HUF (95 Euro) per month.

Almost 90 % of large corporations are owned and controlled
by international companies (the energy sector, telecommunication, agricultural
processing firms etc.). Although Hungarian agriculture is able to produce food
for 30 million persons, because of the restrictive quotas prescribed by the EU
Accession Treaty this Hungarian agriculture could effectively be heavily
decimated, especially its backbone, the family farms.

4. EU MEMBERSHIP AS DIVIDING HUNGARIANS FROM ONE ANOTHER

After World War 1 (Trianon Treaty) and World War 2 (Paris
Treaty) almost 4 Million ethnic Hungarians were cut off from the fatherland,
and live in the neighbouring countries of Romania, Slovakia, Austria, Ukraine,
Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia. For Hungary to join the EU without settling the
problems caused by these unlawful and injustice treaties could create a new
iron curtain between the Hungarians living in Ukraine and Serbia and in the
other part of the Carpathian basin and could undermine the Hungarian
communities living there. For example in KÃ¡rpÃ¡talja belonging recently to
Ukraine or in Voivodina belonging to Serbia a Hungarian pensioner will have to
pay the equivalent of 4-5 months pension to get a visa permitting a move across
the border towards Hungary, when the visa system envisaged by the EU's Schengen
regime comes into place this year.

<>This will decrease the chance to survive and to maintain
Hungarian identity for the Hungarians in these countries.><>>

Since democracy is chooseing by election, I thought perhaps we could
consider “how to vote”. Bruce,

11/16/2002 Entry: “VOTE SCAM ARCHIVE”

VOTE SCAM ARCHIVE

How will we get rid of the electronic voting machines
if that vote will be held on electronic voting machines?

voxfux

It’s a dream come true for the New World Order
tyrants - Election Machines owned and operated by the New World Order itself.
And a sheeplike populous conditioned after years of conditioning to easily
believe that anyone questioning this dark force is a loony “Conspiracy
Theorist Nut.”

This dark force has spent decades destroying the
critical capabilities of Americans for just this purpose - so that their
movements go unnoticed. And now the machines are in place. It’s called
Tyranny.

So here goes - And this is not a conspiracy: This is
YOUR REALITY

All electronic voting machines have, stored in their
volatile memory, (ram) several lines of code which are designed to appear to be
a “glitch” or programming error. It is this error which will hand
strategic victories to key Republican candidates - not all - because that would
be too obvious. Like evey other move that these knights of the New World Order
make, they will do it gradually. But with electronic voting machines in place,
that cannot be audited by law, and a voiceless populous, powerless and
complacent, the pace of their conquest will accelerate at light speed. You will
see a major Republican sweep in the next Presidential election. But back to the
computer “glitches.”

The reason why these several lines of computer code
are designed to look like an error is in the unlikely event that this scheme is
discovered - an eventuality that is highly unlikely. It is not expected that
these completely legal “errors” (all errors are legal) will ever
have to face the light of scrutiny for several reasons. The first reason being
that there is ZERO public oversight of these machines. We simply have no
mechanism to sequester and verify the integrity of these machines. They are top
secret. We are not allowed to have independent scrutiny. Why?

Secondly even in the unlikely event that we could
examine one of these machines, the first thing that would have to be done would
be to unplug the machine. Unplugging the machine zeros out the volitile ram
memory and with it, the glitch. (requiring a re-boot)

Then the system is rebooted, an operating system is
reloaded from a non volatile memory (Rom) which does not contain the error. The
machine can then be examined with full confidence by it’s Conservative
Republican designers that no irregularities will ever be discovered.

Here’s how it’s done. A capacitor can sit
up stream from a dormant volatile ram register. A capacitor which could hold a
sufficient enough charge for one operating system to initialized on, possibly
with the help of the tech support of the election machine group. That charge
could run out, zeroing the malicious code from ram. it could be in the next
register up on the same initial ram. Upon re-boot you could easily have the new
system (minus that tiny little “glitch” I mentioned before load
from a rom that is in fact without the glitch. This capacitor can be charged
with the help on an administrator during the preparation of the machine... The
capaciter releases it’s charge over a 24 or seventy two hour period -
malicious code vanishes - end of story.

The malicious code can even be in a flash memory
segment which can refresh itself at a preprogrammed time, say, the close of the
poll. If the machine is sequestered for examination it is presumed that it will
be seized after such time as the election polls have closed. The memory flashes
with no need for human intervention - purely by the clock which all of the
machines have - end of story. That “glitch” register toggles the
main program and overrides it during the actual election, until the set time,
at the close of the election. When the memory flashes, it kills the glitch, and
toggles the main register back on which is the one that is unblemished. You
could re-boot it a thousand times and get a good and valid program, but that
doesn’t that was the program that actually tabulated the results. This
code is not rocket science there Grasshopper it’s pretty simple stuff. I
expect a bit too simple because these amatures fucked it up. Using some
simplistic sets of integers to derive a predetirmined error of a set
percentage, these fuckers didn’t test it. I imagine that there is a ratio
of integers in that machine that tabulated the funky repetitive numbers. That
malicious GLITCH revealed itself in all the victorious Republican Candidates
throughout the country who got 18,181 votes. OOOPS. You won’t see that
happen again in the next revision of the “Glitch”, Or maybe you
will because the illuminati intelligence agencies posing as news channels such
as CNN ABC CBS AND NBC will never inform you of this strange anomalies. YOU
WILL NEVER KNOW.

considering how fast the Hegelian cycle worked in this
instance they didn’t have time to test their new secret weapon - Their, “Preprogrammed
Consent Machines.” (Florida 2000 = Bad machines + 2 VERY SHORT BUT
APPARENTLY BUSY YEARS LATER = MACHINES WITH PRIMITIVE MULTIPLIERS IN THEM WHICH
WERE UNTESTED AGAINST THE EVENTUALITY OF REVEALING MULTIPLE EXACT TABULATIONS.
OOPS. = UNQUESTIONED VICTORIES ANYWAYS ON ACCOUNT OF A SOCIETY WHOSE MINDS HAVE
BEEN OBLITERATED BY YEARS OF THE STULTIFYING TELEVISION - Divided by -
DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP WHO SHOULD ALERT US OF THE VOTING MACHINE PROBLEM BUT ARE
SILENT, CONSISTING OF NUTERED SHEEP LIKE DASCHLE. AND THE REST OF THE DEMOCRATIC
LEADERSHIP WHO PUT DEMOCRACY IN PERIL BY BEING WILLING LAMBS FOR THE SLAUGHTER.

YES FOLKS, THANKS TO THE COMPLETELY OBLITERATED
CRITICAL CAPABILITY OF EVEN OUR SO CALLED EDUCATED CLASS, THESE AND OTHER
ATROCITIES OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE ILLUMINATI WILL GO UNNOTICED. WE WILL FALL
INTO DEEP OPPRESSION. YOU WILL SEE DEATH SQUADS IN AMERICA SOON.

THE END OF CONSENT. THE END OF DEMOCRACY. The
imposition of a brutish thuggish force not to protect us but to quell us whan
we’ve had enough. And it was easy. It was like taking candy from a baby.
And now they are racing with billions of dollars of research into population
control and so called non lethal suppression technology. Non of it designed to
combat some foreign threat - Wake up! - It’s designed to supress us right
here at home. Our founding fathers would spit in our faces for fucking up that
which they risked their lives for. Americans who stand for this sham are a
disgrace. BUT IF WE FIGHT BACK WE WILL WIN ! GUARANTEED ! They will do anything
to convince us that we are powerless. But the fact is that we could rip them
limb from limb, they just don’t want us to know that. All we have to do
is realize this fact, learn the facts surrounding our current condition and
then simply stop playing their game. And they will dissappear.

But if we allow these machines to be installed
throughout the nation then we will get everything we deserve. The republicans
will sweep the nation and the world will surely suffer a nuclear holocaust.

Here’s an archive of this chilling development.

ELECTRONIC VOTING
MACHINE SCAM

“The concept is clear, simple, and it works.

Computerized voting gives the power of selection,
without fear of discovery,

to whomever controls the computer,” -
James & Kenneth Collier,

authors of VoteScam (1992)

“There are no documented cases of electronic
vote-rigging occurring anywhere in the country, but only because it’s
nearly impossible to prove.”

“Hand counting is the gold standard

against which we check machine counting efficiency.” - James

Baker

“Those who cast the votes decide nothing, those
who count the votes decide everything.”

·Joseph Stalin

“I think it is safe to say at this

point that the election of 2002 lacks any credibility
at this point. Too

many “mistakes”, too many malfunctions,
too many missing documents, too many

dirty tricks, all combine to destroy the illusion that
the results to be

announced have any basis other than in wishful
thinking by those in control

of the vote counting process. Certainly the sudden
abandonment of the VNS

exit polls suggests that the actual polling results
are so far out of

alignment with the desired results that the media
predictions had to be shut

down.”

Voting Machine Technology - It’s Not Secure -
Have elections in America been rigged to slowly, but surely shift
power to the right? In the secretive world of voting machines, anything is
possible. http://www.ecotalk.org/VotingSecurity.htm\

Just after the September primaries, the St. Petersburg
Times ran two photos, side by side, of the Florida gubernatorial
candidates, Jeb Bush and Bill McBride. I cannot remember which one was on the
left and which one was on the right, but in the end, it really did not matter.
The resemblance of one to the other was striking, so much so that I remarked to
my husband that Florida’s “choice” boiled down to which
beefy, middle-aged white guy we preferred. The election, it seemed, would have
been more appropriately resolved in a pie-eating contest than a voting booth,
and based on reports of widespread voting irregularities, the results may have
been more accurate had the final outcome been based on the ability to consume
pastry.

Prior to the general election, the news media –
particularly in South Florida – was overflowing with
stories about the impending invasion of election monitors from all over the world.
Monitors ranged from the local variety, (the Miami-Dade police), to the
national, (John Ashcroft’s minion from the DoJ), to the international,
(including, much to the chagrin of Florida election officials, a contingent
from Russia).

But in the wake of the highly unlikely outcome of Florida’s
mid-terms, the much-hyped monitors were largely silent. Having observed, quite
accurately, that no African-American voters were actually executed while
standing in line to vote, the observers apparently decided to just have a
Marguerita, buy a rubber alligator for the kids and call it a day.

To date, only one comprehensive report appears to have
been issued on the subject, and the mainstream media is not exactly climbing
all over each other to print the results of the study. This is probably because
the conclusion of the report, issued by the British Helsinki Human Rights
Group, states, without equivocation, “The election seemed at best sloppy,
so much so that even elections BHHRG has monitored in ‘pariah’
states of the ex-Communist bloc compared favorably in terms of order and
cleanliness.”

In other words, the fix was in. But we knew that.

The BHHRG report was thorough and covered everything
from the questionable pre-election redistricting, (which left some precincts
with less than 10 registered voters, and carved up minority neighborhoods in
such a way that they were virtually annexed onto the stomping grounds of
wealthy Republican voters), to the interesting fact that the law firm of
Jeb’s “opponent,” Bill McBride, had donated $100,000 to the
Bush campaign.

The report really should be read in its entirety, but
we’ll attempt to summarize some of the highlights below.

Four “media observation precincts” were
established for those wishing to report on the elections. BHHRG witnessed one
incident where county media relations personnel were “desperately
urging” a journalist to visit one of the four showcase centers instead of
making an ad hoc visit to another, perhaps less prepared, precinct. (In other
words, go to the zoo and stay out of the jungle.) But what do you expect from a
state presided over by the Magic Kingdom of Disney World? One can easily
envision a day when one is transported to the voting booth in a brightly
colored car running through the heart of a faux mountain where thousands of
little mechanical replicas of Jeb Bush wave cheerily to prospective voters,
(“Gawd, Earl! He looks so life-like!”)

The Great Voter Purge of Election 2000 remains
uncorrected after two years. Well, actually, the report, in its body, only
makes reference to the original purge, however it points to Greg Palast’s
continuing investigative work on the subject. Floridians are eagerly
anticipating the reinstatement of those who were erroneously purged from the
rolls. We suspect it will occur some time in 2005.

Jeb Bush’s strong-arm tactics in Florida
create a false illusion of support. Following in his big brother’s, (or
perhaps that should be “Big Brother’s,” given the Orwellian
nature of the current administration), footsteps, Jeb shamelessly wiggles his
deep pockets at every corporate whore who comes his way. (“Is that a PAC
in your pocket, big boy, or are you just happy to see me?”)

But far more disturbing, perhaps, is his tendency to
bully those he cannot buy. The BHHRG report notes that Bush “threatened
lobbyists with ‘retaliation’ if they or their clients donated to
the Democratic party.” Even worse, the threat did not preclude those who
also donated a greater or equal amount to the Republican party.

And the threat did not stop with corporate donors.
Apparently the media was also subject to the same tactics, as the report notes
one incident where a newspaper editor-in-chief made the unprecedented move of
overriding the majority vote of his staff in order to endorse Bush over Democratic
opponent, McBride.

Poll workers, as a rule, had no idea how many
registered voters were in their precinct, and no idea where such information
could be obtained. Several workers said they thought there was a “Big
Paper Book” somewhere, but like the Holy Graille, no one had ever seen
it.

This made it difficult to make meaningful statements
around voter turn out, which based on BHHRG observations, was much lower than
the numbers stated by Florida election officials.

“Improvements” to the system caused more
problems than they solved. There were a number of topics that might fall under
the category of “improvements,” but to simplify and clarify things,
we will refer to them collectively as “vote fraud.”

The casting of “provisional ballots,” for
example, hailed as an antidote to “Spurned Voter Syndrome,” was
really nothing more than another boatload of Disney-esque illusion. “NO
ONE WILL BE TURNED AWAY!” proclaimed signs at polling places all over
Miami Dade. But what they neglected to mention was the fact that provisional
voting did not actually ensure that your vote would be counted.

In theory, provisional voting allows the voter to cast
his vote, even if election officials cannot immediately verify his eligibility
to do so. Because the provisional vote is cast in advance of Election Day, the
understanding is that the verification process will be completed and the
voter’s ballot cast prior to the time when the polls close. This process
gives a warm fuzzy to the electorate, and has the added benefit of sparing
political operatives the annoying and time-consuming task of harassing voters
in line at the polls where there may actually be witnesses. As the
investigative report points out, “BHHRG has seen this
“provisional” system used – and abused – in American-organised
elections in Kosovo, where international officials arbitrarily permit or
invalidate ‘provisional’ votes in ways which necessarily affect
candidate’s vote totals.”

The report also gave extensive treatment to the new
touch-screen voting machines which, as almost any computer-literate person
could tell you, represent one of the greatest threats to democracy in the world
today, (outside of George Bush, himself, of course).

Space prohibits me from an in-depth discussion on the
technological ins and outs of screwing with a computerized vote. Suffice it to
say that I have been a computer professional for the last twenty years, and one
does not have to be particularly clever to write the kind of code that would
skew the vote count. A post-Election 2000 piece written by Ronnie Dugger,
(“How Safe are our Voting Machines?” The New Republic,
November 22, 2000), cites an example where a programmer demonstrated this feat
to the author in all of two minutes.

And in case there is anyone out there who is aware of
the issue, but thinks that fraud allegations of this nature could be easily
investigated and the perpetrators brought to justice, let me raise your
consciousness. Even if the programmer who committed the dirty deed was sloppy
in covering his tracks, voting machine computer code is proprietary –
meaning that no one is allowed to see it except the company who created it. And
so, if the accusations start flying, the fox enters the henhouse and proclaims
it free of foxes. Case closed.

The BHHRG report does point out one interesting thing
about the voting machines, and that is the schizophrenic attitude of the public
toward the new technology. While on the one hand, most people who were asked,
said they did not trust the machines to accurately count their vote, on the
other hand, they inexplicably were enamored with the convenience and ease of
use. Enamored, it would seem, to the point of enthusiastic burbling and cooing
that led to the overwhelming impression that the machines were positively
received. “We don’t care if they count our votes properly! These
new machines are just GOBS of fun to use!” seemed to be the bottom line.
Need I hammer home the Disney analogy again?

And this is not the only example of an apparent
epidemic of voter schizophrenia in Florida. The BHHRG report also
makes note of the fact that while urban areas, especially those with an
exceptionally diverse population, tend to vote largely Democratic, not so
Miami-Dade, which handed an “overwhelming” victory to Jeb Bush in
what should have been, at the very least, a close race.

Not noted in the report, but equally as peculiar, was
the Florida electorate’s strong approval of some decidedly
left-leaning amendments, including one which forces the state to limit public
school class sizes, and another which outlaws the inhumane treatment of
pregnant pigs. Yet somehow, these same voters, when faced with choosing a
governor to oversee these new amendments, selected a man who vocally and
publicly opposed them.

Researchers in the field of vote fraud have pointed
out that it is not necessary to do “big stuff” in order to change
the outcome of an election. It is only necessary to do little things –
lots of them – in key, hotly contested races where the vote is likely to
be close. In a society where fragmented and incomplete media coverage of
current events has caused a disconnect between reality and perception, vote
fraud has become a mere parlor trick. Anyone with a black hat and a magic wand
can do it. One need only conjure images of Jim Baker during the Florida
recounts of Election 2000, intoning, “They counted and they
re-counted…you are getting sleepy…and they re-counted
again…VERRRRY sleepy…” in order to understand how this works.

Meanwhile, the year is 2002, and Floridians have
thrown away their “I Voted” stickers and their “I love Jeb!
™” lawn signs, and returned to their daily lives as if nothing has
happened. And they will sleepwalk until 2004 when the brightly colored cars will
come for them and take them back to “Mickey and Minnie’s Voting
Adventure Land.” Never mind the man behind the curtain.

Florida
Revisited: An account of the US midterm elections

British Helsinki Human Rights Group went to Miami-Dade
County in southern Florida for the November 5th, 2002, election. Miami-Dade
County, along with neighboring Palm Beach and Broward Counties, witnessed some
of the most serious alleged irregularities in the 2000 presidential election.
This report attempts to address issues about the 2002 election that major press
and media have thus far chosen not to highlight, and poses questions about the
implications of the 2002 election for democracy and the rule of law in the United
States.

I am aware of the issue. My bottom line lies with my
distaste for pork-pie lies. In keeping with the current thought, I’ve
even displayed my digust to the relevant authorities, but an old “duck(?)”
like me might not be reading the repies too well these days, (don’t know,
don’t read too much?) and it seems that no matter where you turn there’s
more lies. I’m sick of asking the questions, my throat is sore, but even
when they see my pain, it’s still just “another sympton of getting
old”(!). HUH?! If I’m going to get nothing but lies in return then
I shant even bother, better off going for a walk, but you can’t say
where, cause that’s just a set-up waiting to happen. No sir-ee, not this
little black “DUCK”.

How can I help Vox??

Posted by Rob @ 11/17/2002 09:54 AM EST

I am fairly new to this site.My interest in the U.S
greatly increased after the events of Sept 11th.I wasn´t conviced by
the official line.Since Bush has been in it has been one disaster after another
and things negative seem to be gathering momentum with the U.K

now issuing weekly warnings of possible terrorist
attacks.Vox your work is good and you have made me aware of issues I previously
didn´t give much thought to.What to do though is a problem as the masses are
sleep walking,,they look awake but lets face it most are not really living,,merely
going through the motions.Big problem.

I found this link although unrelated to the vote scam
it is still very much on the same wavelength and philosophy of the vox site.

I am here today to announce my cadidacy for President.
You may call me a Demlican, Republicrat, Commutarian, Libunist, or anything you
want. My point here is it that it doesn’t matter, ALL of them are
cowardly thieving assholes, only interested in keeping their cushy jobs. So,
instead of the usual spoonfed bullshit we constantly are bieng fed, here is my
stand on the issues.

1) No war unless attacked, then only in a similar response.

2)Hands off all other countries and their leaders.
Like it or not, they made the choice, one way or another.

3) America first. We have a full plate of problems to
deal with, and unless we do, we won’t be in a position to help anybody,
so that means,

4) Cutoff of all foreign aid, exept humanitarian aid, to all countries.
Not one red cent for military purposes,for any reason.

5) Cutting all diplomatic, economic and technological ties with ALL
beligerant states, as defined by UN protocols.

6) Trade deficits would have to be equallized in a two year period,
or trade with that country would be cut off

7) All outstanding debts by third and fourth world countries to the
World Bank must be forgiven so as to allow these states to develop an economy
of their own choosing, without the spectre of burgeoining debt preventing them
fron doing so. If the World Bank fails to do this, a boycott and blockade of
all resources under their control, shall take effect immediately in the United
States, with all other countries bieng invited to join us in this endevour on
a voluntary basis.

Let’s touch on some domestic issues now, it’s
time somebody did.

1) Food, housing, education, clean water, and decent environment, are
RIGHTS, not priveleges, and shall be made available to all.

2) Color of skin, race, religion, ethnic background,language, or
cultural practices, as long as they do not posess a threat to others, will not
be a barrier in ANY sense, or in any facet of life.

3)Gay Issues. Do what you want in the privacy of your
home. As far as I am concerned, there will be no issues, including military
service.(This is a positive comment).

4) I am pro-choice in principle. You and only you have the right to
decide this. I personally choose no, as I also beleive that it’s your
right to choose whether you go to heaven or hell. Morals cannot be legislated.

5) The constitution was and is the document we choose to be governed
by. It means exactly what it says, period. If you take the oath to protect and
defend it, you had better mean it. It would become a federal felony to violate
the oath.

This in it’s simplified form presented here,
would be the basis of my campaign. No doubletalk, no bullshit, just plain
strait talk.

Thank you for listening.

The RAM has to get it’s information somewhere.
When you plug out the machine, sure the RAM will be cleared since it has to be
dynamically refreshed thousands of times per second. But when you plug the
machine back in, and the operating system loads, the information has to be put
back in the RAM. It has to come from some chip so the best thing to do is
logically it’s in the ROM that holds the operating system, a function to
scam the user input from volatile memory.

First of all, wise man said, “You do not come
into the master’s classroom and make demands such as you have, Master
doesn’t need Ignorant student’s bullshit. You bad student- you know
nothing. You bluffer - You look up and get last minute definition of RAM on
Internet and come to forum and bullshit. Your comment about Ram needing to be
refreshed a thousand times a second give you away. That is first thing you see
when you look up, “Ram for idiots.” Don’t try to bluff me or
draw me ou or I will cut you off. I breadboarded complex VLSI circuits for a
major Aerospace company 20 years ago. Don’t try to bullshit teacher. This
your school, grasshoppa, And I am your auspicious teacher, if you are bad
student - Master will expel you from school. But the Master will descend this
one last time to your foolish distraction. Here goes grasshoppa: A capacitor
can sit up stream from a dormant volatile ram register. A capacitor which could
hold a sufficient enough charge for one operating system to initialized on,
possibly with the help of the tech support of the election machine group. That
charge could run out, zeroing the malicious code from ram. it could be in the
next register up on the same initial ram. Upon re-boot you could easily have
the new system (minus that tiny little “glitch” I mentioned before
load from a rom that is in fact without the glitch. This capacitor can be
charged with the help on an administrator during the preparation of the
machine... The capaciter releases it’s charge over a 24 or seventy two
hour period - malicious code vanishes - end of story.

The malicious code can even be in a flash memory
segment which can refresh itself at a preprogrammed time, say, the close of the
poll. If the machine is sequestered for examination it is presumed that it will
be seized after such time as the election polls have closed. The memory flashes
with no need for human intervention - purely by the clock which all of the
machines have - end of story. That “glitch” register toggles the
main program and overrides it during the actual election, until the set time,
at the close of the election. When the memory flashes, it kills the glitch, and
toggles the main register back on which is the one that is unblemished. You
could re-boot it a thousand times and get a good and valid program, but that
doesn’t that was the program that actually tabulated the results. This
code is not rocket science there Grasshopper it’s pretty simple stuff. I
expect a bit too simple because these amatures fucked it up. Using some
simplistic sets of integers to derive a predetirmined error of a set
percentage, these fuckers didn’t test it. I imagine that there is a ratio
of integers in that machine that tabulated the funky repetitive numbers. That
malicious GLITCH revealed itself in all the victorious Republican Candidates
throughout the country who got 18,181 votes. OOOPS. You won’t see that
happen again in the next revision of the “Glitch”, Or maybe you
will because the illuminati intelligence agencies posing as news channels such
as CNN ABC CBS AND NBC will never inform you of this strange anomalies. YOU
WILL NEVER KNOW.

considering how fast the Hegelian cycle worked in this
instance they didn’t have time to test their new secret weapon - Their, “Preprogrammed
Consent Machines.” (Florida 2000 = Bad machines + 2 VERY SHORT BUT
APPARENTLY BUSY YEARS LATER = MACHINES WITH PRIMITIVE MULTIPLIERS IN THEM WHICH
WERE UNTESTED AGAINST THE EVENTUALITY OF REVEALING MULTIPLE EXACT TABULATIONS.
OOPS. = UNQUESTIONED VICTORIES ANYWAYS ON ACCOUNT OF A SOCIETY WHOSE MINDS HAVE
BEEN OBLITERATED BY YEARS OF THE STULTIFYING TELEVISION - Divided by -
DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP WHO SHOULD ALERT US OF THE VOTING MACHINE PROBLEM BUT ARE
SILENT, CONSISTING OF NUTERED SHEEP LIKE DASCHLE. AND THE REST OF THE
DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP WHO PUT DEMOCRACY IN PERIL BY BEING WILLING LAMBS FOR THE
SLAUGHTER.

YES FOLKS, THANKS TO THE COMPLETELY OBLITERATED
CRITICAL CAPABILITY OF EVEN OUR SO CALLED EDUCATED CLASS, THESE AND OTHER
ATROCITIES OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE ILLUMINATI WILL GO UNNOTICED. WE WILL FALL
INTO DEEP OPPRESSION. YOU WILL SEE DEATH SQUADS IN AMERICA SOON.

And so Grasshoppa, here I am telling you right here
and now that there has never been such a numerical coincidence before but you’re
so lost and indoctrinated that you can even see with your own eyes the
published reports of all the Republican Victors WHO RECEIVED EXACTLY THE SAME
NUMBER (18,181) FROM THE ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES, and you would still simply
say , “That’s just a coincidence.”

I’ve spelled out three specific ways to rig an “Electronic”
election, There’s a thousand other ways - but since I already know what
you “Believe” (Based on fraudulent info) I’ll humor you this
one time then shit can you if you attempt to take up my time further on this
issue. grasshoppa

And p.s. your, “ghetto fabulous” is
hurting.

Like I said, this is not your forum. We already know
what you think, it’s plain to see. You HATE me, yet you spend a
frightening amount of time obsessing over me. Get over it. Remember - stalking
is embarrassing. It means you don’t have a life.

Posted by grasshopa @ 11/17/2002 02:20 PM EST

Rather than trying to eliminate every possible way in
which the totals might be rigged, I’m proposing a follow-up survey by
mail of a random sample of voters, giving us an independent version of the
results. Of course, not everyone would respond, but we would be able to say
that a particular election result was statistically unlikely. Whether that
would be due to electronic tampering, spurious absentee ballots, hanging chads
or whatever, we wouldn’t know, but I’m betting that information of
this kind would serve as a powerful incentive to change the process in a
positive way. Speculation about RAM vs. ROM doesn’t take us far along
this road.

awesome, but it’s discouraging, and their death
merchants are laughing all the way to our death.

Regarding the opening comment, our founding fathers
didn’t simply RISK their lives for the system they gave us. Many LOST
their lives.

Support the Constitution. It is there to keep the
government in check. It is now hanging by a thread.

Posted by Anon. @ 11/18/2002 06:19 PM EST

You’ve really stuck your neck out here, haven’t
you? Your comments will certainly polarize people and make them think for
themselves. HOWEVER, having ACTED for myself I can find no justification for
your claims of “18,181 vote fraud” at this
site.http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2002/Please enlighten us further

Posted by human herd @ 11/19/2002 05:20 AM EST

In the comments above, “Real American,” had it right! Our

national salvation is in the

Constitution, and it must be

followed to the letter of the law!

Had that been done, there would

have been no Federal Reserve, no

IRS, and no debt! We would have

Constitutional debt-free funding

under Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5, as did the Lincoln
administration in the 1860’s!

Posted by John P. Denton @ 11/19/2002 08:22 AM EST

regarding john p denton’s comment
on following the letter of the law or in this case the Constitution. There have
been legit changes by amendment to allow for the irs, the creation of the fed
was by the constitutional power of the congress. if you want to abolish the irs
and the fed, get an amendment passed or get the law changed. better yet, get
elected to office and work to get the change done yourself.

Re jeff in wisconsin: The Supreme Court
has already ruled that the 16th Amendment conferred no new taxing
powers to Congress. Also, the Congress had the power to “Coin Money”—printing
paper-currency was NOT a power that Congress could have delegated, if we
suppose that Congress could delegate its own powers beyond political control
(read ‘control by we the people’); that still doesn’t explain
away how Congress conferred powers it did not have in the first place.

As far as the IRS (Integrated Racketeering System)
goes, http://www.supremelaw.org/sls/31answers.htm
may have some useful information to be gleaned. In fact, to all those opposed
to my Order, studying at www.supremelaw.org
could allow you to Arm yourself with the tools to begin hacking away at the
branches of our ‘evil’.

We are very bored without any real opposition. As if a
site so easily relegated to the status of ‘conspiracy nut-job’
could threaten us—HA!

jeff, I’d like you to try to cite ONE piece of ‘bull’
from supremelaw.org

Posted by Masonic Initiate @ 11/20/2002 11:04 AM EST

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post.

I find it fascinating that even with your
anti-dogmatic morals, you find that a good student is one who sits down, shuts
up, and believes what he is told. I find it fascinating that when the
authenticity of part of something you have posted is challenged, you treat the
poster in a patronising way to gain support from your sheep (by sheep I mean
anyone who has applauded a story of Vox’s that did not even once back up
what he said). But above all, I find it fascinating that you have the unmatched
ability to judge somebody’s entire belief system based on three lines
posted in a forum.

You facinated at wrong thing, You like child who go
see mona lisa and get caught up in smile. You best look at big picture and not
nip at ankle of master. Master not here to satisfy every young student demand
and inquirie. Master has no time. Dig it?

The last post I made was asking you to back up one of
your stories with sources (I cannot recall which, but I think it concerned
weapons manufacturers). You removed that post. What kind of impression does
that give me of your site? It says to me that you think only your opinion
counts, and any person who speaks out questioning the almighty Vox must be
stopped by limiting their ability to speak out to his readers (Heil the Fourth
Reich!).

Like master say before, no time to cater to whims and
demands of bad student. After all what does student you give to master or masters
readers in exchange for masters time to satisfy bad wastes of time. That’s
why student has Google. If student doesn’t know about google, student is
shithead.

I think your articles are informative. They present a
non-conventional view of current events and are very thought-provoking for the
most part. However, when you come out with bullshit articles that have no
reference to or can backup anything that you say, I refuse to kneel down and
say “baaah! great story Vox”, I say “how do you know this?”.
Does this make me a bad student? In schools in America they teach
you to pledge allegiance to your flag, to pray to God and to believe what the
almighty government says. Would a ‘good student’ not question these
things before accepting them?

Grasshoper confused, grasshoppa must make descision.
This is not forum that young grasshoppa may challenge master. Not yet for
master has not yet seen any real challenge coming from grasshoppa. Just weak
ankle biting. Grasshoppa is sowing seeds that will bear little fruit.

Why do you automatically assume that I know nothing
about computers. I may be merely 14 years old but I know quite enough to
understand what you were saying.

For your information, I believe that the Republicans
cheated the elections. My post was intended to clarify the misconceptions I
had. I wanted you to explain things that you hadn’t explained instead of
just dismissing my post and presuming that I DON’T BELONG IN THIS FORUM.

If you have something to teach me, I will learn. But
if you have something to say that proves nothing, then there is little point in
listening.

If you do not wish to discuss this in the forum, I
would ask you to e-mail me your response to this post removing the obvious in
my e-mail address.

something to say, a fool opens his mouth because he has to say something”—Plato

It’s a pity I can’t edit my posts here. I
would just like to add, what did you mean by ‘ghetto fabulous’?

Posted by grasshopa @ 11/20/2002 01:11 PM EST

to masonic initiate, on the website is the stupidity
of a resident of one of the states of the u.s. not being a u.s.
citizen and subject to the jurisdiction of federal courts. how is that? also I
had to use an alternate computer since the webmaster blocked my access on the
one I was replying from earlier. Am I too much the independent thinker to be
allowed to post on the site? do they only want sheep?

Posted by jeff in wisconsin @ 11/20/2002 03:56 PM EST

Jeff, you may want to read “The Two United
States and the Law”, written by Howard Freeman. This concise yet arguably
thorough article describes the venues by which the international bankers (We)
have taken over America, and some [little-known] remedies available
to you in their colorable (read fake) courts.

Go to google and search for “The Two United
States and the Law” or click on my ‘homepage’.
